Jeremiah 26:16-19

Jeremiah 26:16-19 TPT

Then all the leaders and the people said to the priests and prophets, “This man does not deserve to die, for he has spoken to us in the name of YAHWEH our God.” And some of the elders of the nation then stood to address the crowd: “In the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, the prophet Micah of Moresheth prophesied to all the people of Judah, ‘YAHWEH, Commander of Angel Armies, declares: “ ‘Zion will be plowed under like a field, Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble, and the Temple Mount will be covered with overgrowth.’ “Did King Hezekiah and the people of Judah sentence Micah to death for prophesying this? Did not the king rather fear YAHWEH, humble himself, and plead earnestly with him so that he relented of the disaster that he had decreed against them? Do we really want to bring a disaster upon ourselves with such a crime?”
